I feel like an oddball here, I get as high as 24mpg (Greensboro nc to Atlanta ga) on cruise and routinely do at least 20 with an 07 2wd.

You should write a letter to Ford and they should buy your truck and study it. Is that the computer reporting that or have you done the actual amount of gas/actual miles? What speed ... 55? Running stock tire size? What engine? Wazzup with 24mpg? Is it downhill all the way to Atlanta? Regular or premium or E10 gas?

Ok
We're in the same boat. I'm glad we only drive it less than 200 miles a week

We bought our 2013 in March of 2013. Our girl has ~58,000mi. I don’t know what that accounts to weekly, but we don’t drive ours a whole lot either.

EDIT: it’s 223 miles per week.

I never got higher than 15+mpg with either of my 5.4 Expys on a trip and 12 was typical for driving the 46 miles & 24 redlights each way to work.

With the '17, now I have 17.9 ACCRUED mileage since brand new.

36,600 miles over 840 operating hours.....

He has a 2WD model, no front diff or driveline and no big heavy 4x4 transfer case to lug around. I see 18 MPG on a steady highway trip in my 07’ 5.4L 4x4 at 65 even. I normally average 15-16 MPG mixed city and highway. Can’t complain really.

The best I ever did was high 18s driving back from North GA to Knoxville, mistmo back roads before the lift riding on grandpa Michelin tires.

Long distance (over 100miles of hi way cruising) best I ever got was 21.6mpg, but that was very low speed (for me at least) 55-60mph, back roads, mostly flat or slow rolling hills at best.
Normal interstate cruising at 70-80 I get 15-17mpg
Towing I get 9-13
